The Dashboard
The dashboard package gathers data about Guerrilla while it is running and provides an analytics web dashboard. To activate the dashboard, checkout the dashboard branch, then build it, then edit your configuration file as specified in the example configuration.
tl/dr
$ git checkout dashboard
$ cd dashboard/js
$ npm install
$ npm run build
$ cd ..
$ statik -src=./js/build
$ cd ..
$ make guerrillad
Then see the Config section below how to enable it!
The backend is a Go package that collects and stores data from guerrillad, serves the dashboard to web clients, and updates clients with new analytics data over WebSockets.
The backend uses statik to convert the build
folder into a http-servable Go package. When deploying, the frontend should be
built first, then the statik package should be created.
An example of this process is in the .travis.yml.
To build the statik Go package, cd to the dashboard` dir, then run
statik -src=./js/build
The front-end is written in React and uses WebSockets to accept data
from the backend and Victory to render charts.
The js directory is an NPM module that contains all frontend code.
All commands below should be run within the js directory.
To install frontend dependencies:
npm install
To build the frontend code:
npm run build
To run the HMR development server (serves frontend on port 3000 rather than through dashboard package):
npm start
Add dashboard to your goguerrilla.json config file
"dashboard": {
"is_enabled": true,
"listen_interface": ":8081",
"tick_interval": "5s",
"max_window": "24h",
"ranking_aggregation_interval": "6h"
}
Warning: The dashboard does not have any authentication. It is also served over HTTP.
Assuming that the host will open the dashboard http port only to the local network or VPN. However, if you need to access the dashboard securely from a remote connection and don't have a VPN, then maybe an SSH tunnel could do:
ssh you@example.com -L 8081:127.0.0.1:8081 -N
Then point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8081
